A big old goofy evening with John Prine’s faithful long-time sidemen, Dave and Jason. If you’re a Prine fan, you’ll love hearing them share memories of their beloved, one-of-a-kind friend and boss. Also, they will perform some of John’s classic songs. A portion of the proceeds will benefit The Hello in There Foundation. As John Prine‘s lead guitarist and musical director for twenty-four years, Jason Wilber gained a unique perspective on music and life. He worked closely with Mr. Prine on stage and in the studio, collaborating on some truly timeless performances and recordings. Jason’s own albums and performances feature humorous stories from his Prine years. Also, these are contrasted with touching and insightful reflections on life’s mysteries. On his most recent album, Time Traveler, he explores how we will maintain our humanity in the face of our ever-expanding technologies. Jason Wilber has been named an “Artist You Need To Know” by Rolling Stone. Dave Jacques toured with John Prine for twenty-five years. His distinctive bass playing can be heard on John’s The Tree of Forgiveness and Grammy-winning Fair and Square. Additionally, Jacques appears on For Better, Or Worse, In Person & On Stage, Standard Songs for Average People, Souvenirs, In Spite of Ourselves and Live on Tour.

“One of jazz piano’s most brazenly virtuosic players.” – New York Times Jazz piano phenomenon Hiromi has seamlessly shifted from one spellbinding project to the next in her two decade-plus recording career. In the process, she’s earned a reputation as one of the most explosive live performers in jazz history. Furthermore, she has become a global ambassador for the art form. Her many triumphs include an NPR Tiny Desk Concert that has racked up 2 million views. She also had the opportunity to represent her native Japan with a performance at the 2021 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. She won the 2024 Best Music Score for the animated feature film Blue Giant (Award of the Japanese Academy). Finally, a Grammy award for a collaboration with fusion hero Stanley Clarke. Her artistry is — to borrow a descriptor The New Yorker favored — “dazzling.” She released Sonicwonderland in 2023, debuting perhaps the most expressive, dynamic and versatile working band of her career. Featuring Hadrien Feraud on bass, Gene Coye on drums and trumpeter Adam O’Farrill, the group furthered Hiromi’s distinctive musical alchemy. Here, she melds the spirit of classic jazz-rock fusion with classically rooted virtuosity, entrancing funk, pop flourishes and, through O’Farrill’s trumpet, acoustic jazz’s state of the art. The album also did a remarkable job of capturing Hiromi’s mastery as a live entertainer. As The Guardian noted, “Sonicwonderland is perhaps the closest thing to Hiromi’s onstage exuberance.” But that was only the beginning. Sonicwonder has continued to tour and work together consistently, advancing their deep chemistry and fearless sense of interplay. The results can be heard on Hiromi’s new album, 2025’s Out There. Here, the group’s powerful rapport meets the pianist’s astonishing abilities as a composer on equal footing. Recommended for fans of Chick Corea, Keith Jarrett, Herbie Hancock and Weather Report. 📸: Mitsuru Nishimura

“He’s one of the best musicians I know” – Leo Kottke A special show of duos, celebrating the versatility and dynamic range of the acoustic guitar! Guitar guru Tim Sparks will play a set with jazz and flamenco rising star Ben Abrahamson. Then, he will play a set with folk blues guitarist and longtime Rio Nido bandmate Tom Lieberman. Tim Sparks has been redefining the acoustic guitar repertoire since he won the National Fingerpicking Championship in 1993 with a ground-breaking arrangement of Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite. Equally at home with country, blues, jazz or global music, Sparks’s extraordinary ability has earned him an international reputation as one of the most innovative guitarists working today. Ben Abrahamson is a fresh, dynamic voice on the acoustic guitar. His compositions evoke the dexterity of flamenco and the harmonic storytelling of jazz. His passion for flamenco guitar drove him to Taller de Músics School of Music in Barcelona. There, he studied under Juan Ramón Caro. He has composed works for the Minneapolis Guitar Quartet, Zorongo Flamenco Dance Theatre, Mac Jazz big band, and more. Furthermore, Ben has shared the stage with mentors like Michael and Tony Hauser, Susana di Palma, La Conja, and Chuscales.

In addition to Rio Nido, Tom performs both as a solo artist, and with his group, Tommy & The Liebermen. His 2013 album, Common Denominator, made Star Tribune’s Top Ten list for the year. It was described as “bluesy, simmering, profoundly philosophical” and “a charming, eclectic album of original songs.” Recommended for fans of Leo Kottke, Marc Ribot, Bill Frisell and Rio Nido.

One of the defining voices of Jazz, Sarah Vaughan performed for almost 50 years, winning awards and accolades and working with high-profile musicians. Sarah was known for her beautiful, rich and expressive voice, most notably her range and unique vibrato. Paying homage to her influence, Aja takes Sarah Vaughan’s voice from the recordings and brings it to you live. Singing such songs as “Make Comfortable”, “Misty”, and “What is this thing called Love?,” if you have never heard Sarah before, you will go leave wanting to listen to her and fall in love. Aja Parham: Vocals Adi Yeshaya: Piano Nathan Norman: Drums Butchy Austin: Trumpet Brandon Clayton: Sax Keith Nance: Sax, Flute Aja Parham has performed with the Minnesota Opera, Skylark Opera, Penumbra Theatre and the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts. After a time, Aja rekindled her love of Jazz, R&B, Funk and Motown, and started performing as a freelance vocalist throughout the Twin Cities. In 2018, due to her love of all things Sarah Vaughan, she studied the recordings of Sarah down to each note, slide, and placement of vibrato to construct a Sarah Vaughan Tribute show. Since being a 2024 Ordway GreenRoom Fellow, Aja has been seen performing with Bebe Zahara Benet of Drag Race, Johnnie Brown with his tribute shows, performing duets with her 9 year old son with the Capri Big Band, performing as one of the Staples singers in the Last Waltz Tribute, singing BGVs for the Snapped Open Mic at the Green Room, sitting in with Jaybee and the Routine, or in musical theatre and cabaret style settings with James Rocco and Raymond Berg.

She is an act not to be missed. “Aja Parham is one of the Twin Cities’ most well-versed singers, with a wide vocal range and a deep knowledge of music.

“flawlessly replicate the sound of classic New Orleans” — Prairie Uprising Southside Aces are celebrating twenty years of performing the repertoire of the Jazz Age greats and beyond. From the early New Orleans of Jelly Roll Morton to the world-changing joys of Louis Armstrong. The barrel house sounds of Preservation Hall to the Crescent City rhythms of rock and roll pioneer Fats Domino. Treat yourself to a century’s worth of New Orleans jazz. The band first began as the brainchild of clarinetist Tony Balluff and sousaphone player Erik Jacobson. Their whispers and rumors materialized in Tony’s foyer in South Minneapolis, in August 2003. Since their first gig on a flatbed truck in Apple Valley, the Aces have released eight albums, including their most recent —2022’s Minneapolis Bump— fifteen original songs inspired by the Jazz Age. In New Orleans, the jazz tradition thrives off a wide array of styles. The Aces possess a diverse repertoire, with a roll call that includes the names of Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton, Hoagy Carmichael, Duke Ellington, and Bix Beiderbecke. Plus Crescent City classics like “Bourbon Street Parade”, “Just A Closer Walk With Thee”, and “St. James Infirmary”. And let’s not forget the funky rhythms of brass band powerhouses like “Mardi Gras in New Orleans” and “Palm Court Strut”! The Southside Aces have performed at Dakota, Icehouse, Crooners Supper Club, Vieux Carre, Twin Cities Jazz Fest, Bix Beiderbecke Jazz Festival, and Minnesota Orchestra Sommerfest, to name a few. They’ve driven dancers to a frenzy at national dance competitions and led second-line parades through the streets of the Twin Cities. And they’ve played events in Denver, Omaha, Chicago, Des Moines, and all across the great state of Minnesota — which, if you’re keeping score, makes them a “territory band.” Recommended for fans of Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Tuba Skinny, Louis Armstrong and Fats Waller. 📸: Paul Udstrand

“A fiercely intelligent, no-nonsense singer.” – The New York Times Joan Osborne released the critically acclaimed Songs of Bob Dylan in 2017. There, her artistic and soulful reinterpretations of Dylan songs was an eye-opening moment in an already celebrated career. Eight years after that milestone recording, Osborne released the stunning Dylanology Live in April 2025. The captivating recording finds the gifted vocalist performing in front of a live audience. Moreover, special guests Amy Helm, Robert Randolph and Jackie Greene join her. Songs include “Spanish Harlem Incident”, “Buckets Of Rain” “Masters Of War”. Also, “Tonight I’ll Be Staying Here With You” and “High Water (For Charley Patton)”. Osborne has never been an artist confined to one space as she continues to seamlessly blend into any genre. Furthermore, she has continually proven this throughout her three-decade, multi-Grammy nominated career. Her incredible, distinctive voice always shines through her own songs. However, she has also become one of her generation’s finest interpreters. Dylanology Live is yet another testament to her artistic range. It’s been quite the journey since the woman AllMusic.com declared “the most gifted vocalist of her generation” moved from small-town Kentucky to attend NYU film school in the 1980s. Osborne’s astounding voice drew attention when she joined the fun at open mic nights in downtown clubs. Then, that led to 1995’s Relish, “that rare breed of album where critical consensus, popular approval and enduring appeal unite” (American Songwriter). Since then, she’s performed with Motown’s revered rhythm section the Funk Brothers and toured with the Grateful Dead. Here, she first met and sang with Dylan. Further, she’s harmonized with Stevie Wonder at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and duetted with Luciano Pavarotti. Additionally, she co-headlined a tour with the legendary Mavis Staples. Recommended for fans of Bob Dylan, Indigo Girls, Sheryl Crow and Sarah McLachlan.
